Join Cheryl Paris in this energising episode of ABGW, where we explore practical strategies to reset amidst the chaos of a busy work life. With the pressures of back-to-back meetings and relentless schedules, it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves. But fear not! Cheryl shares her insights on how to create micro rituals that seamlessly fit into your day, allowing you to take charge of your state without the need for miraculous solutions.

Discover the concept of 'stacking'—simple techniques designed to be completed in under three minutes. From widening your frame as your calendar pings to anchoring your meetings with a single, powerful word—steady, clear, or focused—these small adjustments can lead to significant changes in your mindset and interactions.

Cheryl reminds us that you only need one willing participant to start shifting the energy around you. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out for support. Every small step you take is a move towards a more balanced future. Trust the process; progress is progress, no matter how slow.

As we wrap up, take a moment to reflect on your next meeting. What state will you present? What word will you choose? Let’s make every interaction count!

A tight stomach, a tense smile, a room that braces before anyone speaks—work stress shows up fast and steals clarity even faster. We walk you through a simple, evidence-aligned way to change the room without a speech: set your state first, then let your words follow. This is not about pretending stress away; it’s about using physiology to send a cleaner signal so conversations land and calendars lighten.

We start with the cost of waiting for others to set the tone and move to a single, testable lever: state. You’ll hear how breath with a longer exhale calms your system, why softening the jaw and rolling the shoulders back reduces perceived threat, and how widening your eyes to engage peripheral vision opens attention. From there, we channel that steadiness into language with one anchor word—clear, curious, warm, steady, or playful—and a grounded opening line such as, “What would make this useful?” The result is fewer misunderstandings, less back-channel drama, and less rework after the meeting.

Along the way, we explain the mirroring effect: people match pace, tone, and posture instinctively. When you brace, the room tightens; when you loosen, others can think and listen. The 60-second door-to-desk reset is designed for fluorescent-light reality, not retreats. Try it once, in one meeting, and observe without judgment what changes—tone, time saved, or outcomes that actually stick. And if you feel unsafe or overwhelmed, don’t white-knuckle it; reach out to your GP, organizational support, or a qualified professional.

If this helped, follow the show, share it with a colleague who dreads review days, and leave a quick rating. Tell us your one word before your next meeting and what shifted for you.

Welcome back to ABGW, where we create a serene space for reflection and rejuvenation. I’m Cheryl, your guide on this journey towards understanding the power of presence in our daily interactions.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the profound impact of being truly present with others. Inspired by the remarkable performance artist Marina Abramovic, who engaged in silent eye contact with strangers, we delve into the transformative nature of connection. When was the last time you felt fully seen and heard?

Presence is at the heart of meaningful communication.

Forget the theories and percentages; the essence lies in pure awareness. Whether you’re engaging with yourself, a child, or a partner, being truly present without analysis or assumptions can foster healing for both parties.

Today’s gentle challenge invites you to choose one person to be fully present with—no distractions, no fixing, just connection. You may be surprised at the healing it brings.

As we wrap up, remember that your body is always communicating. Ensure it conveys kindness to yourself and others. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stuck, please seek professional support; you are not alone in this journey.

Don't forget to check out the accompanying blog post on herguru.uk for further insights. Every small step you take leads to a brighter, more balanced future. Trust your journey; progress is progress, no matter the pace.

Welcome back to ABGW, where we create a nurturing space for reflection and growth. I’m Cheryl, your guide on this journey towards recognising the subtle shifts that can make life feel more manageable.

In this invigorating episode, we explore the profound connection between our physical presence and our mental state. Have you ever noticed how walking with purpose can transform not only how you feel but also how you are perceived? It’s time to harness that power.

Confidence isn't about faking it; it's about embodying the version of you that exists beneath any anxiety or fear.

Imagine striding down the street, shoulders back, and head held high. This alignment sends a powerful message to both your unconscious mind and the world around you. When we move with intention, we assert our belonging and create a protective barrier against unwanted attention.

Today’s gentle prompt encourages you to let your movement reflect how you wish to feel. If anxiety creeps in, lift your head; if uncertainty arises, steady your pace. Remember, your body is always listening, and aligning your physicality with your desired mindset can create a ripple effect of positivity.

As we wrap up, take a moment to let these thoughts settle. You don’t have to act on them immediately; just allow them to resonate within you. And if you ever feel overwhelmed or need support, please know it's perfectly okay to reach out for professional help. You are not alone in this journey.

Don’t forget to check out the accompanying blog post on herguru.uk for more insights. Every small step you take contributes to a brighter, more balanced future. Trust your journey; progress is progress, no matter the pace.

Welcome back to ABGW, where we create a calming space for reflection and growth. I’m Cheryl, your guide on this journey towards self-awareness and connection.

In this enlightening episode, we address the often-overlooked power of non-verbal communication. Have you ever experienced a handshake that felt like a soggy lettuce? It’s a humorous yet poignant reminder that our body language speaks volumes about our confidence and connection with others.

We delve into the nuances of eye contact, the delicate balance between too much and too little, and how mirroring can create an unspoken bond of empathy. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being present and attuned to the subtle cues around us.
Today’s gentle invitation is to practice being intentionally present. Observe what’s truly happening in your interactions, and allow yourself to connect without the pressure of perfection.

As we wrap up, remember that if you ever feel overwhelmed or in survival mode, reaching out for professional support is a sign of strength, not weakness. You are not alone in this journey.

Welcome back to another insightful episode of ABGW, where we create a nurturing space for those seeking clarity amidst the chaos of life. I’m Cheryl, your guide on this journey of self-discovery and awareness.

In this episode, we delve into the art of body language and the unspoken signals that reveal so much about our emotional states. Have you ever entered a room and immediately sensed the atmosphere before a word was spoken? 

That’s your intuition picking up on the subtle cues that our bodies emit.

We explore the significance of recognising our own body signals, from crossed arms indicating defensiveness to open postures that invite connection and curiosity. The beauty lies in becoming aware of these messages, allowing us to reclaim control over our interactions and emotional responses.

Today’s gentle invitation is to observe not just the words spoken by others but the emotions conveyed through their body language. Pay attention to their eyes, their breath, and the spaces between their words; therein lies the truth of their experience.

As we wrap up, remember that if you ever feel overwhelmed or in need of support, it’s perfectly okay to reach out for help. You are not alone on this journey. And don’t forget to check out the accompanying blog post on herguru.uk for further insights.

Every small step you take is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future. Trust your journey and remember, progress is progress, no matter the pace.

“Every step you take, no matter how small, is a step toward a brighter, more balanced future. Trust your journey — progress is progress, no matter the pace.” — Cheryl Paris.

Welcome back to ABGW, where we create a tranquil moment in your day for reflection and insight. I’m Cheryl Paris, your guide on this journey towards understanding the unspoken messages of our bodies.

In this enlightening episode, we delve into the subtle yet powerful language of body communication. Have you ever noticed how someone's posture or micro-expressions can convey a wealth of information without a single word being spoken? 

Our bodies have been whispering truths about our inner worlds for years, and it’s time to tune in.

We challenge the common misconception that communication is merely about words. Instead, we explore the significance of being present and aware of the non-verbal cues that surround us. A crossed arm might signal defensiveness, or perhaps it’s just a response to the chill in the air. 

The key lies in understanding that assumptions can cloud our perceptions.

Today’s gentle homework invites you to take a moment to observe what your body is expressing. Notice the subtle signals in various situations without judgment or control. This simple act of awareness can lead to profound insights.

As we conclude, remember that if you ever feel overwhelmed or in need of support, it’s essential to reach out for professional help. You are not alone in this journey.

For further exploration, don’t forget to check out the accompanying blog post on herguru.uk out on Tuesdays. And always remember, every small step you take contributes to a brighter, more balanced future. Trust your journey; progress is progress, no matter the pace.

Welcome back to ABGW, where we carve out a gentle space in your day for reflection and calm. I’m Cheryl Paris, here to guide you through a soothing five-minute pause to breathe and think differently.

In this episode, we challenge the notion that stress and strain are simply part of life. Together, we explore the possibilities that arise when we step back and reassess our circumstances. Have you ever felt trapped by the phrase, “this is just how it is”? It’s time to break free from that mindset.

Join me as I share the concept of dissociation, a technique I often utilise with clients to gain a clearer perspective. By stepping back from the situation, we can examine the bigger picture and recognise that what feels inevitable may just be familiarity holding us back.

Today’s tiny step for you is to ask yourself one honest question: What would respect look like here? Embrace whatever feelings arise and remember, seeking professional support is not a sign of failure; it’s a wise choice when the weight of the world feels too heavy.

As we wrap up, take a moment to notice how you feel now. Even the slightest shift in awareness is significant. Should you find this episode beneficial, I encourage you to explore our other short episodes, designed to gently support you over time.

Remember, if at any point you feel overwhelmed or unsafe, it’s important to reach out for professional help. Take care of yourself, and I look forward to connecting with you again. Bye for now.

Welcome back to another soothing episode of ABGW, where we carve out a gentle space in your day for reflection and calm. I’m Cheryl Parris, your guide on this journey towards self-awareness and empowerment.

In today’s episode, we tackle the pervasive belief that speaking up won’t create change. As we navigate the complexities of life, it’s easy to feel that hope is dwindling, especially when stress lingers on. We delve into the subtle erosion of hope and how it can lead us to a place where we stop expecting change, believing it to be safer.

But here’s the truth: even amidst challenging circumstances, we still possess choices. I invite you to explore the difference between feeling trapped by a system and recognising your personal agency. It’s often the smallest choices that can spark significant change, restoring a sense of control in our lives.

Today’s tiny step experiment encourages you to identify one thing you can control this week—be it the pace of your day, the timing of a task, or simply allowing yourself to rest. Remember, every small choice contributes to reclaiming your agency.

Join me as we gently challenge the notion that high stress is just part of life. If you find today’s message resonates, consider tuning in to the next episode, where we continue to explore these themes together.

Before you go, take a moment to check in with yourself. Awareness is the key, and nothing dramatic is required—just notice how you feel. If at any point you feel overwhelmed, please reach out for professional support.

Take care of yourself, and I’ll be here again next time. Bye for now!

Welcome back to ABGW, where we carve out a gentle pause in our busy lives. I’m Cheryl Paris, your guide in this serene space, inviting you to take a moment to breathe, reflect, and think differently.

In today’s episode, we explore the intriguing dynamics that unfold when you begin to stop automatically conforming to expectations at work and in various situations. Have you ever felt that awkwardness when you set a new boundary or question the status quo? It’s a common experience, and it can feel surprisingly risky.

Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” let’s shift the conversation inward. What does this change actually threaten? Often, it’s not your worth but the convenience of silence and the habits that have relied on your compliance.

 Stepping back allows you to observe the patterns at play, rather than personalising them.

Today, I encourage you to experiment with a simple boundary phrase: “Let me come back to you on that.” Practise it quietly, whether you’re taking a moment alone or enjoying a break. Remember, no justification or apology is necessary.

As we wrap up, take a moment to check in with yourself. Notice any shifts in your feelings, however small. Awareness is a powerful tool, and even the tiniest change can be significant.

If you found this episode helpful, be sure to tune in to the next one, where we’ll delve into the feeling of pointlessness that can arise when speaking up.

And remember, if things ever feel overwhelming, don’t hesitate to seek professional support. Take care of yourself, and I’ll see you next time. Bye for now!
